Maestría milenaria en el manejo del territorio y recursos de los PPII prístinos Por Miguel Ibañez Sánchez* 6 de enero, 2012.- Ruth Shady Solís, Directora del Proyecto Especial Arqueológico Caral-Supe (PEACS) el 22 de noviembre en el Instituto Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (ICPNA) de Lima disertó sobre los alcances de los últimos trabajos relacionados al manejo del territorio y los recursos de los habitantes de hace cinco mil años en la parte baja del valle de Supe. Esta conferencia es parte de un ciclo que organiza la Sociedad Geográfica de Lima dentro de su programa educativo. Caral es una ciudad sagrada que prosperó hace cinco mil años en el Valle de Supe a 30 km. de la orilla del mar y a 182 km. al norte de la ciudad de Lima. En un clima de desierto desecado subtropical (L. R. Holdridge, Joseph A. Tosi) con precipitaciones por debajo los 5 mm al año, catalogado como una de las zonas más secas del planeta. Desde 12 mil años antes del presente muchos pueblos indígenas tuvieron la capacidad de sobrevivir y -en el caso de Caral- constituir una sociedad amplia de conocimientos tanto en el manejo hidráulico, la agricultura, la pesca como en la construcción de ciudades y monumentos sagrados. Ruth Shady Solís dijo que con escasos recursos y con un grupo de egresados y arqueólogos de la Universidad de San Marcos en 1993 iniciaron los trabajos en Caral y luego anunciaron definitivamente que dicho complejo estaba relacionado con el periodo pre cerámico.

  • The Metrological Research of Machu Picchu Site. Application of a Cosine Quantogram Method for 3D Laser Data
    IMEKO International Conference on Metrology for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Torino, Italy, October 19-21, 2016 The metrological research of Machu Picchu site. Application of a cosine quantogram method for 3D laser data. Anna Kubicka 1 1 Wroclaw University of Technology, ul. Bolesława Prusa 53/55 50 -317 Wrocław , [email protected] The aim of research and metrological analysis of the Machu Picchu site is to verify the hypothesis on the functioning of the imperial system of length measurement, which were used by Incas during measurement and construction process. The results of 3D laser scanning of the Machu Picchu site provides crucial, precise output for metrological analysis. Main objective is to verify the hypothesis assuming the existence and usage of one, common imperial unit. As far as the research method is concerned, I propose using statistical model of cosine quantogram, which has successfully been employed during the analysis of architectural sites of Mediterranean culture as well as European medieval urbanism. The questions and problems of research concerning the existence and usage of base unit or units of measure are formed on the foregoing assumptions pertaining to current phenomenon of outlining and measuring Inca urban planning.

Se tiene la necesidad, por lo tanto, de realizar sistematicamente mas excavaciones y analisis de los materiales y los datos. El presente articulo trata del aspecto socioreligioso de lafase Kotosh-Mito en el valle alto del Huallaga y presenta una idea del concepto del Arcaico y de la redefinician del Formativo con un nuevo esquema cronolagico. Abstract THE ARCHAIC PERIOD IN HUANUCO AND THE CONCEPT OF ARCHAIC The Archaic Period in the Central Andes can be considered as the period of postglacial adaptation and, in this sense, the necessity of comparative studies with similar processes in other parts of the world like Europe, Near East, or the Jomon Period in Japan should be revised. Not only for this purpose but also for Andean studies proper, it is necessary to proceed more sistematic excavations of the Archaic Period in Peru. The present article offers an interpretation ofthe socioreligious aspect ofthe Archaic Period or Initial Formative Period in the upper Huallaga basin in order to reconsider the conc~pt of Archaic and reorganize a new chronological scheme for the Formative Period. Introduccion Se ha venido interpretando que el Periodo Arcaico es un lapso del tiempo en el cual los primeros cazadores y recolectores empezaron a adaptarse a los variados ambientes de los Andes Centrales despues del Periodo Pleistoceno para finalmente establecer la vida agricola sedentaria.

  • CALLAO, PERU Onboard: 1800 Saturday November 26
    Arrive: 0800 Tuesday November 22 CALLAO, PERU Onboard: 1800 Saturday November 26 Brief Overview: A traveler’s paradise, the warm arms of Peru envelope some of the world’s most timeless traditions and greatest ancient treasures! From its immense biodiversity, the breathtaking beauty of the Andes Mountains (the longest in the world!) and the Sacred Valley, to relics of the Incan Empire, like Machu Picchu, and the rich cultural diversity that populates the country today – Peru has an experience for everyone. Located in the Lima Metropolitan Area, the port of Callao is just a stone’s throw away from the dazzling sights and sounds of Peru’s capital and largest city, Lima. With its colorful buildings teeming with colonial architecture and verdant coastline cliffs, this vibrant city makes for a home-away-from-home during your port stay in Peru. Nearby: Explore Lima’s most iconic neighborhoods - Miraflores and Barranco – by foot, bike (PER 104-201 Biking Lima), and even Segway (PER 121-101 Lima by Segway). Be sure to hit up one of the local markets (PER 114-201 Culinary Lima) and try out Peruvian fare – you can’t go wrong with picarones (fried pumpkin dough with anis seeds and honey - pictured above), cuy (guinea pig), or huge ears of roast corn! Worth the travel: Cusco, the former capital of Incan civilization, is a short flight from Lima. From this ancient city, you can access a multitude of Andean wonders. Explore the ruins of the famed Machu Picchu, the city of Ollantaytambo – which still thrives to this day, Lake Titcaca and its many islands, and the culture of the Quechua people.
